The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a current inhibition target for the treatment of diseases, including cancer. In humans, there are two major cytosolic isoforms of Hsp90 (Hsp90α and Hsp90β). Hsp90α is inducible and Hsp90β is constitutively expressed. Most Hsp90 inhibitors are pan-inhibitors that target both cytosolic isoforms of Hsp90. The development of isoform-selective inhibitors of Hsp90 may enable better clinical outcomes. Herein, by using virtual screening and bindin ...[more]
